Belgium: visa decisions in Colombia

|---|---|---|---|---|

In 2025, Belgium’s embassy and consulates in Colombia (Bogotá) received 17 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 14. Applications rose by 55% compared with 2024 (11).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 10.0% of the applications lodged in Colombia that year. Belgium’s consulates worldwide refused 26.1%. Belgium was the 10th most applied-for Schengen state in Colombia.
You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Colombia, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
